Genuinely one of those lovely things on social media that gives me hope for humanity - if your mum is no longer around, this is a lovely way to remember them.

Glad you brought this up - this Mexican is the first and only in this sport, and everyone was impressed by her determination - the USA gold medalists were so sweet, she removed her skis and hugged her dearly. The MSNBC cut out all of it. Why? That's the best of the #Olympics! empathy and love.

Several problems with this story. Trump. 3 years. There is actually the opportunity to make it sooner via the mid terms and then impeach, but that also assumes Trump and his fascist supporters don't take over the election system and then instead of never Trump, it's ever Trump.

Amazing, this sounds to me like an all night raver returning home from clubbing, the most alarming thing they would do is be friendly and hug you! Which I appreciate is a very frightening experience for Londoners.

Obviously zero reflection in any of this on how operating the largest empire in human history may have turned us into a multicultural nation. We are here because you were there. #Empireland

BBC news website is littered with 'As a reminder' and such facile comments as if everything has two equally valid sides. Trump lies every time he opens his mouth, just as the men who were mates with mega wealthy paedophile Epstein were indeed paedophilic misogynistic abusers.

He's lying. Did he open his mouth? Yes, therefore you have all the evidence you need. STOP treating anything this racist liar says as if it has ANY validity. BBC News - Trump says he 'didn't see' part of video with racist clip depicting Obamas as apes

'The expansion comes as demand for heat pump installations continues to rise, but the industry faces considerable shortages of trained engineers.'

Renewables: just quietly getting on & creating jobs.

One of the reasons we donโ€™t get the transparency we want from politics is that transparency begets more tranparency.

The Epstein files revealed things we didnโ€™t know were hidden from us. And when these Mandelson documents are revealed, weโ€™re sure thereโ€™ll still be more questions than answers.

Storyville - The Farthest: Voyager's Interstellar Journey The story behind Voyager - a tiny spaceship 12 billion miles away from Earth, leaving our solar system and entering the void of deep space - and the people who made her.

Sometimes you discover an absolute gem on the BBC, this is just the most awesome, brilliant documentary. Loved it. Recommended.

Hoping Matt Goodwin loses Gorton and Denton for many reasons, not least because we can deploy the headline, and resulting nickname, Matt Badloss

Trump doesn't just throw people under the bus, he jumps in the driving seat and reverses over them.

The idea that the monster Trump could end any conflict or de-escalate anything is risible. He has no empathy for anyone and everything he says or does is purely to benefit himself because he does not give a shit about anyone else including all his toady fascist team.

This makes me very happy and very unhappy. Happy to see such a great character (and actor) return, but sad that it'll only be in flashbacks... But hey, gritty realism can't undo death, so I'll take whatever they can offer!!

PS - The fact that the media was informed of the NEC decision before I was tells you everything you need to know about the way the Labour Party is being run these days.

You would think that over 30 years of service would count for something but sadly not. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

As much as it can seem too hard, that there is no hope, you can read about so many people like him helping others, wanting to achieve the change to a better future, putting themselves forward to support that fight. So I'm staying positive, and I believe eventually the light will win.

RIP Alex Pretti. You deserve your legacy to be that your murder was a turning point. That ends with the impeachment of Trump and the trial of the leaders of the fascist regime.

The task for political leadership now is not just to tell the truth, but to make people care about what is true and what is not.

They know what they say is untrue, they do not care it is untrue.

The media know that what they repeat is untrue, they do not care it is untrue.

Their supporters know what they are told is untrue, they do not care it is untrue.

Telling the truth is not enough, unless people care about the truth.

All fascists do is break the existing infrastructure and harm people in the name of โ€œnationalismโ€. They build nothing. Contribute fuck all. An ideology that is the equivalent of a massive wrecking ball that destroys a whole country in the process.

This is so true, and the UK needs to understand it, because if we're not careful, we will be next.

This is horrific. In what world did the man ON THE GROUND pose a threat and especially a threat that justified shooting him!?!? If the White House try and lie through this, and Congress STILL fails to act, they deserve nothing but utter contempt.

What a surprise, the bully can't bear that his neighbour might prefer others, and so we get this churlish response. What a ridiculous man, behaving yet again like a spoiled brat who can't get his way. Keep treating him as the child he is!
